Sarah is incredible!
5 stars!! Hiring Sarah as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding. She was one of the first vendors we hired, and from the moment we met her, put us at ease, and we even became friends as our process went on. She gave us the most incredible recommendations and was a trusted advisor throughout the planning process. She made us feel at ease in front of the camera and even relaxed all of our loved ones, some of whom were very nervous to be photographed. She also was very conscious of our budget and worked with us. Sarah is one of the most beautiful souls and an incredible artist. She’s not only incredible at taking portraits but capturing candids and the energy of the entire event. Our family and friends are blown away by our photos, and these photos will be treasured our whole lives. Thank you Sarah! -

Karen N. Sent on 03/22/2024The best choice you can make for your wedding day? Work with Sarah.
To say that Sarah is a talented photographer who will capture your wedding day in stunning detail and make you feel at ease while she’s doing it is true – and it’s also a massive understatement. Sarah goes above and beyond in every way imaginable. From the moment we started planning with her, she had tools and resources that helped us sort out not just our photo list, but a whole lot of small details we would not have thought of without her. She is organized, quick to respond, and reminded us from the start that this was going to be FUN.
As someone who freezes in front of a camera, I was amazed at how Sarah’s instructions could dissolve my awkwardness and help me feel like myself. A photo session I’d expected to be a stressful part of the day became the most memorable, because Sarah reminded us to breathe, to take a moment of stillness - and those were the minutes we got, amidst a fast-paced day, to take it all in together.
Rain forced us to move our lakeside wedding inside, and still Sarah managed to find clear pockets of time to get our outdoor portraits – and didn’t hesitate to do whatever it took to get the right shot and the right angle (including venturing out over the lake on a rickety dock!). Even our wedding planner was blown away by Sarah, who kept taking pictures as the rain picked up, her own umbrella cast aside so she could get a full bridal party umbrella shot by the lake.
And when it comes to dance floor photos, Sarah is the queen. She was right in the mix, and got some incredible shots of our favorite people letting loose and having a blast. When we shared our gallery with friends and family, we got to hear rave reviews not just of how great our photos came out, but also how attentive Sarah had been to making sure she captured a great photo of as many of our guests as possible.
Our day and our memories wouldn’t have been the same without her!! -

Sarah is incredible. From our first call, she made my partner and I feel at ease - she's friendly, funny, and professional. She also sent regular touch base emails leading up to our wedding both to gather information from us and to share helpful tips, which we really appreciated. On the day of our wedding, both Sarah and her second photographer, Senshi, went above and beyond. They got us laughing, helped us navigate challenging family dynamics with grace, and made the whole process fun. The resulting photos are absolutely stunning! They're the perfect mix of formal portraits and candid photos and they really capture the look and feel of our day. Long story short, we would hire Sarah again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Sarah, for everything. -

Sarah is a rock star and her photos are stunning.
We could not be happier that we chose Sarah to be a part of our wedding day. She is a great communicator leading up to the day, has a relaxed, approachable personality that makes you instantly comfortable, and captures human emotion that you can feel leaping out of the shot. The energy, colors, and movement in our photos transported us back to that day and continue to bring the biggest smiles to our faces – book this gal ASAP! -

Elise T. Sent on 01/03/2022Hiring Sarah As Our Photographer Was The Best Choice We Made!
Hiring Sarah Bode-Clark as our photographer was one of the best choices we made in planning our wedding. When we look through the photographs she took, we are immediately transported back to our wedding day. We will never be able to express the depth of our gratitude for capturing every special moment with such care and attention to detail. Having a photographer that captured candid moments well was extremely important to us, and Sarah exceeded all expectations in that regard. Every photograph is genuine and breathtaking. Sarah was also an absolute joy to work with, was gifted in working with our little niece and nephew (ages two and five), and was completely unobtrusive. Our families and friends cannot stop raving about how wonderful Sarah was, and we could not agree more. We are looking forward to continuing to work with her for every special moment to come! -

Sarah was an incredible addition to our wedding day. She made everything so easy from the minute we hired her through the post-wedding photo album purchase. We hired her initially for our 2020 wedding and when we decided to postpone the party, we even hired her for our intimate ceremony that took place in August 2020.. It was important for us to capture those moments and she did so beautifully. We enjoyed laughing with Sarah and she brought joy and vibrancy to our wedding day party in 2021 as well. We cannot recommend Sarah's demeanor, quality of work and level of communication enough. She was fabulous, easily our favorite vendor! -

SARAH IS THE BEST! I had an engagement shoot and wedding photos by Sarah and I couldn’t be happier. The photos are stunning and perfectly captured the beauty of our wedding day. All of our friends and family were so impressed with the quality and style of the photos.
The best thing about Sarah isn’t her amazing photos, it’s her warm, wonderful and outgoing personality. Taking photos with Sarah feels fun, natural not overwhelming. She was a pro at handling some very last minute location changes on for our engagement shoot. She went above and beyond what is required of a wedding vendor (even offering to do a no contact grocery drop when she heard my husband and I had COVID)!
On a day filled with nerves and excitement Sarah helped to keep us both grounded while taking the best photos ever.
I cannot recommend Sarah enough and look forward or working with her in the future on other photo shoots! -

Ahhhhmazing!
Sarah was in a word, incredible! We booked her in 2019, pre COVID, for what was intended to be a Sept 2020 wedding. We postponed that to be safe, and Sarah was so supportive throughout the whole postponement, I felt like I didn’t know what I’d do without her! She was on the ball and current with everything from project cupid changes, to general questions about how to navigate the wedding industry. I really don’t feel like every photographer has that enthusiastic edge! Once the wedding came around, the day where you’re probably the biggest bundle of nerves of your whole life, Sarah and her partner that day, also Sarah, created such a fun and calming atmosphere for us. All the little things she did to help the process go smooth are too many to mention. You’ll get it when you book her! Our photos came out phenomenal. We are definitely keeping Sarah in mind for any future special occasions. THANK YOU SARAH! -

We found Sarah from photos she took at our wedding venue. We spent hours scouring portfolios and decided to email Sarah because all of her photos were joyful, and made us feel like we knew the people in them a little bit and were happy for them. Our first exchange of emails left us so confident in Sarah - so happy just to have found her - that we booked her out of sheer anxiety at the thought of losing her to another couple on our date, and we never looked back.
We were supposed to get married in May, 2020. We’re obsessively organized, but we’d never done this before. From that first email exchange, through the engagement shoot, through rescheduling and replanning our wedding twice, through the night we were married at our apartment with just our immediate families and best friends on incredibly short notice, Sarah was our guide, resource, and friend. She’s more than our match in organization and readiness, and incredibly generous with her experience and contacts. On the day, she was a steadying presence when needed, invisible when called for, kind and gracious beyond belief. She looked after us, far beyond her obligation, and we cannot thank her enough.
So that’s Sarah.
Sarah’s photos, from our engagement shoot and from our wedding, are no kidding one hundred percent magic. She dropped us a few of them that night, somehow, just to blow us away probably – and the rest just a few weeks later. We look better in them than we have any right to, and more importantly she captured every ounce of the joy of our wedding. We’re biased, but we know we’re right about this because everyone who sees those photos tells the same thing – Sarah got all the emotion, all of the love, from everyone, from every moment.
We’re more grateful than we can say. You should probably hire her, too.

Sarah: the Best photographer & BEST decision you'll make
Having her as our photographer was the best and most important decision we made. She is the key, the rockstar, the nucleus of the whole shebang. She is like having your best friend, maid of honor, sister, wedding planner, and therapist – all there during your big day, guiding you through, and taking fabulous pictures to boot.
Sarah cares and is one of the most generous souls I have ever met. She is kind, but also gets things done. She threads the needle of being joyful, supportive, and firm, perfectly. She keeps everyone both on task and relaxed. She also managed to expertly capture every moment. She was everywhere and nowhere. She was by my side when I needed her, at the center of the dancefloor, but also unobtrusive and discreet. I cannot imagine my wedding without Sarah there. She made our wedding. She will make yours.
If there was a Macarthur genius award for wedding photographers, Sarah should get it!

Zach F. Sent on 01/18/2020Sarah was a joy to work with! The photos were perfect.
Sarah is a warm, engaging, genuinely lovely person. From the moment we decided to work with her, she made her kindness and attention to detail known. She took an interest in us as people, our relationship, and our big day. On the day itself, she made the photo process fun with her disarming, exceedingly professional approach. She captured beautiful, candid moments without being intrusive. And she was able to guide all of us in staged portraits that were extremely flattering and fun. She was also extremely reliable in terms of sticking to schedule, timeline, and delivering on her word. Sarah is great! You should hire her. -

Sarah was an amazing photographer to work with. Wedding planning can be stressful, but from the day we hired her, Sarah felt like a touchstone. She sent helpful tips and suggestions in the months leading up to our wedding day, and even sent a lovely care package thanking us for hiring her. She went above and beyond before we had even started.
On the day of the wedding, Sarah’s presence was calming. She skillfully directed photos in a way that put me at ease. She took control during the wedding prep in a way that was authoritative without being the least bit intrusive. She helped keep the day structured and organized without interfering with the emotions of the day. During the ceremony and the party, she managed to artfully capture every moment. She seemed to be in multiple places at once, so that she never missed a moment. When we got our pictures back, it was an amazing experience to discover so many new moments that happened amongst our family and friends. The pictures themselves were stunning. In fact, we heard over and over again from friends that they were the best wedding photos anyone had ever seen. She was incredibly generous with how many photos we received and they all arrived in less than a month of the wedding. Hiring Sarah was one of the best decisions we made. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for an incredibly reasonably priced, talented, and kind person to photograph your wedding. -

Sarah's thoughtfulness and love of the event shines through in all her work. Working with her before the wedding was a pleasure - walking us through every moment and counseling us with her vast experience. At the wedding, she was somehow ever-present without inserting herself into the events, and with her calm and able demeanor, could coax us both through our various anxieties and share in the excitement of the day! After the wedding, she was able to rapidly turn around the photos and get them to us in both physical media and online, and they were wonderful. She was able to capture the essences of the day, the event, and all the personalities present - it's always wonderful looking back at her photos. -
